proofs that spring is lowering some

facts, sets all US agriculturaian hOrti-
cultural people thinking and planning
about our spring planting.
The farmer Is already turning up

year. And to those of us whose sphere
10 limited to the garden and dooryard;
the time has come to plan our kitchen
gardens and flower beds, to make our
selections of seeds and plants which

ample means for gratifying their taste
in their surroundings find no difficulty,

buy only few seeds and plants each
year, and exchange with one another,
as we used to do in those early Kansas
days when rosebush was q treasure,
and flower seeds were golden. But
that was long ago; and ::now those

know that the air in this part of the
country does not contain enough mOis-
ture to insure good hatch don't
think sprinkling should in many cases
be resOrted to. The blood absorbs too
much water, and the chicks are apt to
be weakly.
My plan OF furnishing moisture
would be to build the nest with slat or
screen wire bottoms and in such away
that you could set a can of water un-
der them. This will furnish moisture
enough.
The best incubators use but very lit
tie water, not more than a table spoon
full in "a hours.

How To Prepare Ground For Flax.


Plow the ground 7 or 8 inches deep.
II it is dry and hard and bumpv it
should be planked the same day 1t is
plOwed. The object Of this is to pulver-
ize the ground before the Jumps get
dry, proceed i'm this way until ready
to sow, when the ground should be
leveled until it l. perfectly smooth, and
the Jumps are all broken up.
Flax will not come up through
Jumps. When ready SOW about !bushel
to the acre, then CO yer with a smooth
ing harrow. Perhaps rolling would do
as well. Those never tried covering it
that way, the seed does not want to be
covered deep, good heavy rain right
after sowing will cover it enough. But
some one said this Is to much work
ana it wont pay. Well experience is
quite a good teacher, i prepared almost
six acres the very same way last years
and sowed little less than 2. bushel
of seed and got COOL stand and raise,l
IL bushels to the acre. sowed clover
and timothy in the same piece, in some
places where did not lap in sowing, /
got a. fine stand of clover, but where
there was good stand of flax the clO-
yer was nearly all killed.
Flowing the ground deep keeps the
flax from drying up when the dry
weather comes. Last summer my
fisk did not stop growing as my fields
did, though the growth was not as it
would have been, had We had more
rain. In case it is very wet, if the
ground is pl0wed deep 1t gives 1t bet
ter chance to settle down and dry off.
! do not say that one cannot pillow
shallow and raise a good crop, but
with me deep blowing is every thing,
1t has always been most satisfactory.
TO succeed well with small seeds the
ground must be clear of Jumps.
Hoping that may experience: my be
of benefit to the readers Of your
"Farmers Column" and that others
will give their way Of farming, we say
good luck to the farmer part::Of the
REGISTER any way.
